China literally isn’t doing anything bad on an international level, they’re just building their economy using moderate state control, and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence” China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries…and not for one god damn second will 99% of Americans stop to contrast the actual economic violence of US sanctions against say the Cuban people, vs the made up economic violence of Chinese downward pressure on renewable energy commodity costs. It’ll work, and my brain will keep melting
The way China has been developing (in broad strokes: state supported import substitution and resource nationalism) is exactly the way western imperialist powers developed. Yes I'm ignoring the class characteristics of this development, these are crucial as well, but just in terms of development policy China is doing something very similar to what Britain and the US did in order to develop their productive forces.
Instead of cooperating with China in the BRI, the US decided to make a western backed competitor. The initiative is primarily privatized with little state control, and so far they managed to come up with a few million (or low billions) in funding. And it’s likely abandoned because it was never talked about again after it was announced (which never even made headlines because no one cares about it).
Either they don’t give a shit, or it’s just another opportunity for the ghouls in Langley to base their hostile operations. Either way, the west continues to show that they don’t care about anyone or anything that isn’t white. It doesn’t matter if China is cynical or cunning or whatever. What matters is that they’re backing up their rhetoric and pushing their propaganda without some Chinese intelligence officer or soldier massacring a bunch of Africans to prove some stupid point.
It's either the party that will convert us into a Christian nationalist hate machine if they have even the slightest majority or the one that can't do anything without seriously compromising across the aisle unless they have a veto-proof majority in both houses and also the presidency.

Reminds me of when Israel used to call the UN "Legal terrorism" or some other variant thereof.
The evil seeseepee are killing western econimals
One industry China will never be able to take away from the west. They're masters at it.
Politics makes a lot of sense when you stop assuming the average person has any clue what's going on.
There is a very large number of people who could not tell you, without using their phones, which party controls each chamber of Congress.
